THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapters 581. Gifts

Sam regained his senses and looked at Kartikeya with an embarrassed expression. The fight he had fought was not an actual fight at all. He had fought Kartikeya completely by utilizing the rules of the game.

From corrupting Kartikeya bit by bit and his final attack like a crazy demon, it was all his tricks to utilize the rules and he did this knowing full well that the other party would be lenient to him. Just like the Monkey King did.

"Don't feel bad, I also broke some of the rules I set for myself, but your performance is better than I expected, at least you can play the game and form rules for yourself."

Kartikeya spoke and waved his hand, Sam felt all his mental fatigue recover and heaved a sigh of relief. There was too much pressure from this game and he had died a total of sixteen times. At the very least, he avoided pain and torture and almost always committed suicide by jumping off the stage.

So, at least he was spared from the torment, but still, he was afraid that he would suffer some mental damage. He had very few emotions that he could feel with all his heart. They might even be in pain and angry, but he did not want to lose them.

So, Kartikeya's recovery was something he was grateful for.

"Gamblers really picked some good candidates and it's no wonder that Dumb Monkey likes you so much, it's acceptable. Even I'm a little sorry for not choosing you as a candidate."

With that Kartikeya took out a black crystallized metal ball and threw it at Sam.

Sam caught it and checked it.

"That's what the Monkey King promised you. That would provide a nice upgrade for the dimensional explorer you're using."

Sam was overjoyed and immediately placed him in the divine dimension. He was in no hurry to check it out. After all, there were still gifts waiting for him for this Inheritance Palace. He had suffered too much not to think of them.

"I want to give the winners something that will help them lead the battle well. But from what I've heard, it's already with you, even though yours is the lowest level, the best property that can be developed with you.

Normally, a being at your level, can't do much because taking care of yourself is hard enough.

But from the looks of it, you can cover it up.

I am very confident that my candidate will win, I mostly prepare a suitable prize for him."

He stopped for a moment and said.

"I don't want to trick you, how about we make a deal?"

"I'm open to it."

“Actually, the main winners will get a total of three prizes, but the other candidates will only get one prize based on the level they achieved and the performance they showed.

Originally, I wanted to give you a spear, a commander's desk, and some rescue trinkets, but I'd like to ask you to hand over the spear so that I can give it to my candidate. Instead, I will give you my Ripple style technique.

And since you won the game technically that I didn't expect from any candidate, I'll give you a superior prize determined by the final prize.

"What kind of gift are we talking about?"

"What about the Chess Board?" Kartikeya asked with a smile. Sam was astonished, he did not expect Kartikeya to give him a cultivator's chessboard.

Sam pointed at the table in front of them and asked still in disbelief.

"This board?"

"Not this one exactly. Another board that suits you better. Trust me it's worth the equivalent of the thunder prison you already have."

"What about the trinkets you're talking about?"

"I'll give you five items, one of which will help your breakthrough once you reach Perfect Realm. I heard that you've already got the peaches the Monkey King gave you and this treasure will match those peaches."

As he spoke, he took out a small glass bottle containing a drop of transparent liquid. Although it looked like water, Sam could feel its divinity.

"This is a watery drop from the Akashaganga Divine river. Although, this is diluted, if it can help you a lot in the breakthrough. Drink it with the Heavenly Wine you have after eating peaches, right before the breakthrough.

And the breakthrough should be made only after you feel your body cannot stand the power it holds.

The second is a war puppet. It has the power of a Perfect level cultivator and can be used three times. Anyone within the limits of Perfect realm would die no matter how strong they were."

Kartikeya took out another small metallic humanoid doll and placed it down. It almost looked like a transformer toy.

Kartikeya then placed five reels on the table.

Sam was so happy. But he was still waiting, there were other gifts waiting for him, these three items were all one gift. Skills are the last gift.

"Ripple's style and Void style have been rivals for years. The disciples of the two schools of thought struggled for centuries to prove which one was better. But I can't imagine, there will be days, one person will learn two of them."

Kartikeya said and streams of light shot out from his forehead and shot into Sam's forehead.

Sam felt like he had lost control of his body and tried to fight it at first.

"Don't fight, observe."

A voice rang out in his head and Sam began to observe his own body. He could see the energy circulation. For ripple style. It was different from the emptiness style. The emptiness force mostly used the volume of spiritual energy somewhere to create a small vacuum that would create an explosion and chaos of spiritual energy.

But ripple style, consider the energy in the form of fabric and all the energy in the atmosphere is made up of layers of connected fabric.

The ripple force creates ripples in the fabric creating the necessary damage.

Sam observed the ripple force circulating all over his body and Kartikeya demonstrated it several times. Unlike most battle techniques and cultivation techniques, there were no training stages or levels in techniques like the Void style.

Both are really add-ons and anyone can use them in any form of technique if they are smart enough to find a way to do it.

After the demonstration, Kartikeya even left some pictures in his mind so that he could practice some form using this style.

Sam was happy when the demo ended and repeatedly thanked Kartikeya.

"Now, let's get back to the chessboard, shall we? As I said, this thing will be equivalent to a prison of thunder."

With that Kartikeya took out a chessboard and placed it on the table. The board is much smaller than the first and there are no pieces on it.

The board is made of several crystalline substances as it is almost transparent to look at.

"It's called Prison Chess. Variants of Chess Cultivators are original and that is because the game is played with prisoners you catch.

Since you have Thunder Prison, this would be a great addition to your arsenal when you are dealing with an overpowering enemy.

At your cultivation level, you can catch a Perfect Level-1 stage cultivator when they are in the stage of injury or exhaustion. As for Transcendent stage cultivators, you can easily catch them as long as you catch them off guard and if you use Thunder Prison and can hold them for fifteen minutes, you can catch them, You can imprison them there perfectly.

As for the Pre-transcendent stage cultivators, it will be easy for you and the peak Pre-transcendent stage cultivators will make you exert some extra mental tension.

After you catch them. You can assign them to different sections on the board on both sides.

They will get stuck in that block and once all the pieces are filled, you and your opponent can take the king's place and play with them.

Their cultivation level will be limited to the rules we have set. If you are a King, at the peak level of the Newborn stage, the pawn will have the strength of a Level-3 Nascent Stage and if you have the strength of a Stage-1 Perfect Stage, the pawn will have the power of a Stage-3 Nascent Stage, pawns would have a Level-5 Transcendent stage.

But the only drawback is that they should not be placed in a higher part of their actual cultivation. The position of the pawns could reduce their cultivation, but not increase it.

You don't have to be king either, you can catch thirty-two pawns and you can assign kings as you like and let them fight. They will never be able to oppose you and will be stuck there unless you want them out.

And you don't have to play with them all the time. Just like how you and I play, two friends can play all the parts of being themselves even with the prisoners still there.

It can be used to capture your powerful enemies and slowly destroy their desire to make them your own army.

The last function is the attack function. If the opponent is too strong for you and you do not get the chance to catch him using the Thunder Prison and the board itself, you can use this function.

You can activate this function with immense spiritual energy and forcefully drag your opponent or opponent into the game of chess and you fight them in the game of chess according to the rules, if you win, if you win, they'll be arrested. But if you lose, you will be caught and the chessboard will change ownership. So, you have to be careful when using it.

But pulling them into the game is not an easy task because the energy that will be required is huge at the same time, it takes some time based on the level of the opponent."

Sam is overwhelmed with new knowledge that floods his brain.
